   This is more than likely a dumb question, but I tend to ask those on occasion so here goes.
   When using the 5-minute install http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Install and it says to upload the files from the directory(but not the directory itself)what exactly does that mean?
   I have the folder called:
   wordpress2.6.3, and if I open it I have a folder called:
   wordpress, and if I open it I have:
   wp-admin
   wp-content
   wp-includes

   I've done this a few times and I don't want to guess this time I want to get it right!
   Thanks alot,
   Jerry

   OK, here goes:
   If you upload the directory named "wordpress" (second in your hierarchy above) - you will end up with an address/URL like
   example.com/wordpress

   If you upload the 3 directories under (in) it AND all the 20-something files on the same level, then you will have your WP blog at
   example.com

   Does this help?
